For those with central air (we salute you)... What do you set it at?

I don't have central air but I use one or two window units. I bought two new window A/C units last year. One for my bedroom and one for the kitchen. I set them for 70-72 cooling, and that's usually fine. I don't need real cold.  The bedroom unit works well in a relatively small room. Once it hits the temp it shuts down, and comes on briefly to check temps. If needed it will kick on. So after a while it hardly comes on at all as the room stays cool enough.

I'm usually fine elsewhere in the house. I get used to the warmth and it's not a problem. I put one in the kitchen to keep it cool while cooking. My den remains nice enough even in hot weather. The ceiling fan is enough.

We've got it set around 70, and are currently enjoying the delicious tears of those not endowed with AC today (it's 88 already, and it's supposed to hit 97 today).
Experience bij!

Supposed to dip back down to highs of the mid-80s here tomorrow thru the weekend.  Today's high of 94 was unacceptable :angry:

In the house, 72-74.  In a motel or hotel, 69.

I don't mind this shit anymore since all of our summers are like this.  I don't start getting angry until the mercury tops 100.*

*Euros: That's 100 Fahrenheit, not Celsius, in case you were wondering. :)

I think I jinxed things with this thread.  :(  Today I can't get the temperature below 81, and the thermostat (or control pad) keeps setting it at 85 if I leave it alone.  :huh:

I turn it on to cool the apartment down if it's hot and humid when I get back from work. Once it's cooled a bit inside, I turn it off and use a fan.

When I was in That Bad Place Overseas we'd crank that baby down to 66 degrees all day every day. It was the greatest feeling in the world to walk inside after a day out in 120 degrees in body armor.

On balls assed hot nights, when it was still 90 with 90% humidity at 1am, I would stop by the morgue and spend my lunch break there.  The occupants didn't mind.

Luxurious central air has failed me.  :(  It will not get below 88 in here.

With all the storms hitting the northeast US, we lost power for most of a day, and I was forced to rely on the insulation of the house to keep it cool.  Surprisingly, it didn't get very hot.
